One Oil Liquid Lotion
There are two phases to a good lotion recipe: the heated phase and the cool down phase. The heated phase contains two parts as well: the water phase and the oil phase. As a chemist I keep the heated phase for at least 20-30 minutes. I find that it keeps the lotion emulsified without separation. The following recipe is a watered down version of one that I will be selling. I also always use the metric system NOT the English system. Don’t forget to spray everything with bleach and let it air dry then spray with 97% rubbing alcohol or vodka! haha
